Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Gareth Johnson (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 28 June 2017 on behalf of the Northern Ireland Office.
Leaving the EU: Border
- Question
-
Northern Ireland is as much part of the United Kingdom as Dartford, but does the Minister agree that, given Northern Ireland’s unique situation, it is essential that there is a frictionless border between it and the Republic, without ever compromising the security of the whole of the United Kingdom?
- Answer
-
Yes, I do agree. We all want to see people and goods moving as freely as possible across the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland, in the service of a strong economy for those who need it.
